CCT’s “MFCS” staff offer:

• Leading experts in multiphase flow and corrosion/erosion
• Consulting services for multiphase flow, flow improvement, corrosion/erosion monitoring and its instrumentation
• Specialized consultancy in corrosion inhibitor selection and total corrosion management system

Operating conditions:

• Pressure: up to 10 bars
• Temperature: up to 130° C
• Superficial Gas Velocity: 0 to 25 m/s
• Superficial Liquid Velocity: 0 to 5 m/s
• Liquid Viscosity Range: 0.5 to 300 cP

MFCS capabilities include:

• Inclinable 10 cm (4 inch) diameter, 36 m long, 316L stainless steel flow loop with test section for inserting corrosion probes
• Low shear progressive cavity pumps for gas and liquid circulation
• Easy changeability from stainless steel to Plexiglass pipes
• A transparent pipe section for visual observation up to 10 bars and 150° C

Benefits of MFCS:

• Study of multiphase flow characteristics (e.g. Flow Pattern)
• Effect of flow on corrosion
• Evaluation of corrosion inhibitors & resistance alloys
• Flow improvement chemical evaluation (e.g. Drag Reducing Agent)
• Field trials (flow and corrosion/erosion monitoring, flow improvers)
• Development of specialized process components (e.g. Separators)
